No one was here this morning when I woke up to give me a ride to school. The entire Malik household was gone. I tried calling all the boys, including Liam, to see if someone would give me a ride, but no one picked up.

It’s been less than twenty four hours since Liam promised me, again, that he would fight for me and he’s already letting me down. I guess I really can’t blame him though; he could just be away from his phone or something. I can’t really take my frustration on someone not being here on him.

I grew even more frustrated when I realized I don’t know how Zayn styled up my hair. I tried to do it myself, but I failed miserably and put on one of my many snapbacks. Luckily, I had one of the outfits that we bought the other day. Once again, the pants were uncomfortably tight.

I groaned when I looked at the clock and saw that I had fourteen minutes to make it to my school that was just over two miles away. Good thing I’m a runner though, a good one at that to. I changed into my running shorts, a tank top, and a pair of black running sleeves instead and packed the other clothes I had in my bag to put on later.

With that, I went out the door, no time to eat breakfast or make a lunch, and started a nice jog on my way to the school. Running with backpacks is something I never want to do again. I’m definitely giving the guys hell the next time I see them.

I had a lot of time to think while I was running and all my thoughts were off Liam. I knew I still loved him and I still wanted him and he told me countless times that he wants me as well. It’s just so frustrating that he won’t do anything about it. I’m waiting for him to show me why I should take him back. I don’t think I’m asking for too much, he is the one that messed up.

I still have this doubt that he’s not going to fight for me, like he will realize that I’m not worth it and just give up on me, maybe turn straight and just be with Danielle. Even if he does do that I don’t think that I can remain mad at him, I still would want him in my life. It might damage me permanently, because I will never stop loving him, but I don’t think I could go through life without him not being in it with me.

I was interrupted out of my thoughts when I got to the school and saw that no one was outside, but one person, who is standing in the front entrance, but I was too far away to see who that person was. I looked down at my watch and scrunched up my face in confusion. I was three minutes early, people usually stay outside, unless it’s storming, until the bell rings. I slowly made my way up to the front entrance to see who that one person was.

I froze when I could finally make out who it was. Danielle was standing in the front entrance with a huge smile on her face and black cloth dangling from her fingers.

This all seems highly suspicious to me. Maybe Danielle had killed everyone and was just waiting until she got me to. That’s why she got that cloth, she’s going to blindfold me and kidnap me and kill me in her evil lair.

I gulped nervously and slowed my pace even further. “H-hey Danielle.” I said nervously once I got within ear shot.

Her smiled widened. “Hey Niall. I was wondering when you were going to get here.” She said cheerfully, too cheerfully.

“Um, w-where is e-everyone?” I asked nervously. Damn that stutter.

She just giggled a little bit. “That’s a surprise that is why I have this actually!” She said as she held up the black cloth.
